Flipkart's 'Big Billion Day' sale draws flak on Twitter

Flipkart's much publicised sale, 'The Big Billion Day', started at 8 am Monday morning. The sale being held from 6-10 October in celebration of its successful journey seems to be drawing as many sceptics as customers to the e-commerce website.

Even as Flipakart enticed customers with heavily discounted products, hourly deals and new products launches, several tweeted their complains about the sale. From technical errors, to comments on pricing scams, to lack of product variety, here is what people had to say-

#BigBillionDay has just started! Grab the awesome deals & offers while you can... shop now! http://t.co/Mw8ehW5IcY pic.twitter.com/6Y0ML1Qc7R

Looking at the Flipkart sale and wondering which of the I-don't-really-need-this-but-came-cheap-so-bought-off items to buy.

Seems like @flipkart has increased price of items about 30-80% as a preparation for the big billion day.
